Life Cycle Riddim – Xterminator

Life Cycle Riddim from Xterminator sits in that early-2000s roots lane where the drum pattern stays grounded and the bass does most of the talking, giving the singers room to carry the message. The lineup is compact but strong: Prince Malachi turns up twice, alongside Turbulence, Sizzla, LMS, Tiwony and Typical F? f? , with “We Pray Jah” and “My Way To Zion” keeping the spiritual focus front and centre. Xterminator, the Philip “Fatis” Burrell camp, had already built a reputation for steppers-era roots and conscious reggae, and this set fits right into that catalogue with its sober mood and straight-ahead arrangement. “Zion Gates” and “The World” lean into the same steady pulse, while the vocal cuts ride the riddim in a measured, prayerful style that keeps the whole thing anchored in a low, rolling bassline.
